Wolverhampton, UK (March 25, 2024) - Team GB's burgeoning boxing talent, Delicious Orie, is setting his sights on Olympic glory at the Paris 2024 Games, with the backing of former trainer to Anthony Joshua, Rob McCracken.

Stepping into a Legacy

With every British super heavyweight boxer who has competed at the Olympics securing a medal, Orie aims to continue this tradition and become the seventh medalist in the division. Following in the footsteps of renowned fighters like Anthony Joshua, Audley Harrison, and Joe Joyce, Orie sees himself as the next cab off the rank in British boxing.

Guided by a Proven Mentor
